MODERATORS
I have no idea. I saw the news article in a newspaper based in Luxembourg first, but it was in French. So I searched for an English version to share and found this one from Malaysia.
I was feeling kinda sad about the whole thing then I saw the part about the two small dogs. I'm guessing they weren't on a lead.
"Ha! Look at Gretchen play with the little Kuh. So nett! Oh...mama looks mad...ach Scheiße!"
I always learned to never walk between a bear mama and her cub, or a cow and her calf
Asking for trouble
Cows and bears. Both put the wumpus on you if your dog irritates or frightens them, especially if they have their kids still with them.
How much does a cow herd charge? Is it really that expensive that it would cause somebody to die?
It's milkshake definitely brought the boys to the yard.
The list price was pretty low but they really milked her for fees during checkout.
She thought she was getting the milk for free but the cows got tacked on at checkout.
My mom warned me about people getting the milk for free.
This news comes just two days after @[email protected] asked Is it generally safe to walk through a field of cows? on [email protected]. To cite a response from the thread:
Usually it’s pretty safe except when there are calves on the field. It happens every year that some tourists (especially with dogs) go through a field with calves and their mothers and someone gets injured. - @[email protected]
This comment is backed up by a statement from the linked article:
Emergency service personnel cited by Austrian media warned of the danger of dogs getting near cows. “Cows have a very strongly developed maternal instinct and defend their calves,” said an emergency service source cited by news agency APA.
We need to find out if this woman was a Lemming
